Very nice.......Enjoy  :cool:

Nice colour. I was torn between steel grey or reflex silver. My Dad was going no, no get silver not steel grey. So I decided on reflex silver. Love the car love the colour.

Week later he turns up in a 07 530d sport in a colour very similar to STEEL GREY!!!!  AAAAAHHHHH :grin:

Nice car mate Enjoy. Running her in will  be a pain and a pleasure!

Great looking car there!  I was torn between pearl black and steel grey - I wanted steel grey but the rest of the family said NOOO its gotta be black!  Still, whatever colour the car comes in, it looks MEAN.  Anyway, wouldn't be a proper drug dealer until i got a car that was black with black windows!!! :grin:  Just need the black alloys now :smug:  Happy cruising - must have been worth the wait.  Dont worry - 1500miles will fly by and you won't realise (not!)

they do on mine too, I think you'll notice a little rubber (presume sticky) pad between the bodywork in the wheel arch, and the side skirt. I'm sure they'll have a reason for it!

What, you mean you arnt too sure if they are OK??

I have seen them as standard fitment on the R32, and they worked fine on that.  I think because the Exaltos are a slightly harder rubber compound, when compareing to the Pilot Sport 2s, they take a little longer to scrub in, particularly on the rears.
